The first time I heard of Christine was during an IG live. Christine read the letter "Compliance is Often an Act of Survival." It was if she wrote this letter for me - it is MY story! I was paralyzed with emotion (sadness, grief, compassion for me and my children) - for the first time I realized I wasn't going crazy.
My children have all been used as proxies to coercively control me thoughout my 20 year marriage, and even more so post separation (Post Separation Abuse).
I had no idea the damage that was being done to me and my children - it was overt and covert and methodical and slow. Even though I'm an educated, success ful and financially independent woman - I didn't see it. Instead, I stayed and worked harder.
I'm so blessed to be able to work with Christine...her guidance and compassion (and sometimes "hard" messages) has allowed me to find compassion for myself and the strength to counter the coercive control via psychological harm he (my ex) continues to inflict on my children.
The advocacy and educational work Christine is doing WILL save lives and change the world. Her message is empowering women to gain compassion for themselves and the strength to stop the coercive control and subsequent psychological abuse.
